The Intrusion System performs real-time packet analysis on all network traffic in order to detect and prevent malicious network activity. The Smoothwall can detect a vast array of well-known service exploits including buffer overflow attempts, port scans and CGI attacks.

All violations are logged and the logged data can be used to strengthen the firewall by creating IP block rules against identified networks and source IPs.
